# Gender Reversed Disney Princesses These Disney Princesses Do a Gender Switch and Get Made into Men By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-01-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gender-switch References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/what-disney-princesses-would-look-like-as-men/) & [lettherebedoodles.tumblr](http://lettherebedoodles.tumblr.com/post/74014281061/disney-princes-ish-after-seeing-these-awesome) Ever wonder what the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) princesses would look like with a little gender switch-a-roo? These pictures give a pretty accurate representation of what it would be like if the Disney princesses were to have their roles reversed and become men. Next to Mickey Mouse, the Disney princesses are arguably the most popular thing to come out of the Disney brand. While the role of prince charming is big in the Disney franchise as well, it would be more compelling to see the Disney princesses re-imagined. The Disney prince-esses in these photos are still a far cry from the manly stereotype of the prince charming and [evil villain characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2) in Disney movies and still possess many feminine traits. Megara especially still looks quite like his scowling female counterpart while Ariel looks like he's sitting at the prepubescent stage. Female qualities aside, these photos do provide a cool look at then other side of the Disney princess coin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gender-switched Disney Characters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new narratives and merchandise by re-imagining Disney princesses as male characters. - **Reversing Gender Roles in Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Challenge traditional gender norms by transforming male characters into princesses, appealing to a wider audience. - **Exploring Identity and Representation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Address the need for diverse and inclusive characters in entertainment by exploring gender identity and representation through animated films. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create groundbreaking animated content that challenges traditional gender roles and expands the target audience. - **Merchandising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a new line of merchandise featuring gender-reversed Disney characters to attract fans looking for unique collectibles. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to create gender-fluid clothing lines inspired by gender-swapped Disney princesses, promoting inclusivity and self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Princess-Themed Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Reimagined Pop-Culture Music Genres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-new-sound.md)
